[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve lived in Los Angeles for menu years (decades). The area around USC has completely gentrified. So has downtown to some degree which is nearby but far enough away. The kids know how to navigate it safely and well visit it and you will see what I mean. I would not be concerned. UCLA is in an extraordinarily upscale neighborhood. People oftentimes compare the two schools and it’s not a fair comparison because UCLA is in such a nice neighborhood that it’s an outlier.[/quote] It’s true that UCLA is near some very expensive residential neighborhoods but Westwood village (the shopping area) is at least one third empty buildings and Westwood boulevard south of Wilshire is sketchy. Like all of Los Angeles, there are a lot of homeless, some of whom are aggressive. Having visited both this summer, I think USC actually feels safer because it’s campus is more compact and therefore easier to keep non students out.[/quote]
